Visible Thinking in the Classroom
The following are a few links sharing tools to use on the iPad that would help to show learner thinking.
Also there are pictures of examples of how you might use questioning or show learner thinking through formative assessments or visuals.
Remember
that the more learners can see how others are thinking and give
feedback on their thinking the more connections can be made in
learning!
